Paris



Our Valentine's Day project. Inspired by a small wooden art piece hanging at a friend's new house, we decided to make something out of salvaged wood. We found these little stakes in a nearby vacant lot. Noel sanded and cleaned them, then we decoupaged on the luggage and trim. We hammered some mismatched, sparkly stud earrings in to the piece as a finishing touch. Sweet - and a great affirmation for our hope to travel to Paris some day (Noel for a second time).
